Prawn Pilau
Prawn Pilau
I think my family can never say "NO" to sea-food. They can literally eat sea-food any day. Sea-food is so versatile and you can use it in different cuisines. Also it gives any dish a fresh taste.Now when it comes to Prawn Pilau, we love it spicy. It is important to season the Prawns separately so that it gives a nice flavour.
